[krbdev.mit.edu #7566] krb5-1.10.3 - Ticket lifetimes can be "negative" (this is a bad idea)

It is possible to request tickets with a "negative" lifetime, e.g. "kinit -l
-3600".

 

It shouldn't be possible to request tickets whose "start time" is greater
than the "expiration time". I suspect there be some issues on 32-bit OS's
with underflows.
